Site-directed reduction engineering within bimetal-organic frameworks for efficient size-selective catalysis

A triphenylamine-based Pt(ii) metallacage via coordination-driven self-assembly for nonlinear optical power limiting

“…Column chromatographic purification was performed with silica gel (200-300 mesh) as the stationary phase. 1 H NMR, 31 P{ 1 H} NMR, 13 C NMR, correlation spectroscopy (COSY) NMR, and diffusion-ordered (DOSY) NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance (600 MHz) spectrometer. The chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm).…”

“…Coordination-chemistry-driven self-assembly has emerged in the last decade as a straightforward synthetic approach and has provided increasingly intricate and functional supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), [1][2][3][4] including both metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) [5][6][7] and metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs). 8,9 The chemical and structural diversity, tunability, flexibility, and permanent porosity of these materials make them valuable for a wide range of applications in guest encapsulation, [10][11][12] catalysis, 13,14 sensors, [15][16][17] bioimaging agents, 18,19 and so on. Another advantage unique to SCCs is the availability of sufficient pore space to accommodate functional groups on the building blocks without interfering with their linkage or alignment.…”

Oriented self-assembly of metal–organic frameworks driven by photoinitiated monomer polymerization

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Recently, the fabrication of oriented MOFs has attracted increasing attention due to their applications in selective separation, catalysis, optical equipment and energy storage. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] To achieve oriented growth of MOFs, most studies focused on the surface functionalization of substrates or crystal engineering. [17][18][19][20][21][22] However, these methods can only be used to fabricate single-type MOFs considering lattice matching, and the preparation process is complex and time-consuming, further limiting their versatility.…”

Construction of a Hierarchical Structure of Bimetallic Oxide Derived from Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as an emerging class of porous coordination polymer materials, obtained through an orderly coordination between metal ions/clusters and organic linkers, exist as adjustable porous structures and possess large specific surface areas. Meanwhile, because of their unique structural advantages, highly dispersed coordination unsaturated metal active sites can be fully exposed outside the surfaces of the MOF structures, which have been extensively applied in heterocatalysis, − gas adsorption/separation, − dye degradation, and drug delivery. , It is worth noting that MOFs can also be used as marvelous precursor materials to obtain a series of metal nanomaterials through pyrolysis methods. ,, For instance, our group previously reported the preparation of bimetal ZnO/NiO by the carbonization of bimetal Zn/Ni-MOF precursors . In addition, Wang et al reported the preparation of different morphologies of CuO hierarchical structures exhibiting excellent performance for ethanol vapor sensing.…”

“…As is well-known, solvothermal deposition is the most common way to synthesize bimetallic MOFs, , Nevertheless, because of the uncertainty of the regulation conditions, phase separation often occurs in the preparation process. On the other hand, most of the MOF crystals synthesized by this method exist in bulk crystals with smooth surfaces, ,, which limit full exposure of the metal active sites outside the surfaces.…”
